I've had this TV for about a week now, and have been impressed by what I've seen. It goes without saying that the super thin bezel is amazing. It doesn't quite match that of similar size, cutting edge Samsung's where there is virtually zero bezel but it's still impressive nonetheless. Picture quality is outstanding, and high motion images are mostly artifact and blur free even though this is a 120Hz set. The 2D to 3D "conversion" is impressive and quite passable in many situations. It does cause a bit of eye strain for me however, for some reason though the true 3D content does not.
My two biggest complaints are the screen while not glossy, is more glossy than my 46" Sony. Though it can be somewhat mitigated by changing the TV to a different built-in setting to make the image brighter, I definitely notice it. Second, I LOVE the built in WiFi (it's suprisingly fast) but was disappointed that Toshiba hasn't gone the extra step other manufacturers have started to by integrated a webcam and some video chat "app" such as Skype. I've seen that feature on other cutting edge TV's and see no reason that couldn't have been integrated here. It's also disappointing that the browser doesn't support Flash content.
Overall, a solid effort from Toshiba and makes me excited for what may be soon to come from them.

A really great TV. The 3D is almost like exhibits in Disney World. The 2D to 3D is dependent on the content. Glare on the screen can be a problem and the sound level must be set to near 50. My other HDTV sound level was very acceptable at about 32. I also have a much older pre HD Toshiba TV that still is great.

Picture Quality is Excellent. Beats or equals all other TVs.
3D is awesome and even 2D to 3D is good. HD channells are as it should be. Even SD channells are ok. Better than my other two TVs.
The only downside is no FLASH support or SKYPE support. Even last years' model 515U had both. I don't know why this year's model lacks it. Toshibha can introduce it via software upgrade. Because of the lack of flash support, although this has a browser, most things don't work. Hence my request is for the FLASH to be implemented ASAP. If this is done, this will be 5 star as well as surpass SAMSUNG, LG or SONY. All the competetors have it.
Sound is ok.

Very good value priced Smart 3D TV. This TV is very easy to operate and the picture is incredible. The 3D is great and passive 3D(no batteries) is a plus. Uses same RealD 3D glasses as most theaters. The SmartTV is simple and easy to opperate.
The web browser is a plus if you are only using to check e-mail, doesnt support flash based webpages.
All things said this is probably the best year for Toshiba TV's in a long time. The audessy audio is much better than years past and arguably the best in the industry out of the box. They have closed the gap with the other top tear brand.

I replaced a lg smart tv with this one. I was very disappointed. I do not use vudu. Redbox cheaper. Did have netflix. My lg had games, Facebook,I could download any apps and they worked. Internet worked just like a pc. I have Hulu plus which I can't use on this tv. It's 55 inches. When movies on from Netflix they are reduced to half size. No need for bigger tv if movies are smaller. My 50 lg did not do this. Wish I had kept my lg.
